I thank Senator Walker for her first supplementary question. Our kids are always the priority. That's why today the Albanese government is committing to using every lever at its disposal to protect our kids. We must create an online environment which is safe for our kids to connect to, an environment free from predatory technology. Apps that are designed to abuse, to bully and to humiliate are unacceptable. They expose our kids at a time when they are most vulnerable.

Today's commitment to restrict access to these abhorrent apps will make a real difference in protecting young Australians. We want children to have their childhoods and we want parents and grandparents to have peace of mind.
